Still not bad compared to the pile of parts that comes off a 1911.

I have carried my Mitchell .45 bull barrel/full throat support for 20 years. The takedown needs a bent paper-clip into a hole in the spring guide; but then breaks down into the barrel assembly, slide, and receiver for simple cleaning. This was made only briefly back when Mitchell tried to buy a niche in the Gov't market. Has other race gun features. Extremely accurate.

The LC9s fits exactly in the Don Hume H715 M NO. 40FS-1 IWB open top molded leather holster meant for the S&W Signa 9, easy re-holstering. However, the retention is friction, not positive; and the clip, though pretty secure, does not have a positive U-bend.

I purchased a compensator for my Springfield 1911 that installs in place of the sloppy barrel bushing. I spent almost 30 hours with emery cloth to precisely fit it. It improved accuracy from 2.5 inch groups to .75 at 25 yards. Nice when the effort pays off like that. Thanks for the LC9s holster reference. Finding just the right fit can be a chore.
